The Food Liaison

I have to say that The Food Liaison is my favorite place to eat for lunch. There hasn’t been one thing that I haven’t loved! And the pastries! OMG don’t get me started. The food is fresh, lunches healthy… did I mention the desserts?
My vote would be for The Food Liaison to be open longer and on the weekends! Yes that request is to feed my Food Liaison addiction! :)

We stopped here for lunch based on all the great reviews. It’s a small store front in a strip mall with nice outside seating. The salad bar is on the right when you walk in.
Their specials that day were all bread heavy, so I felt the only low carb option was the salad bar. It was a good salad bar, with veggies, cheese, and meat. For dessert we got some seed brittle made with maple syrup. They were super sweet (too sweet for me). This place is nice, and the staff were super friendly.

We chanced upon The Food Liaison while driving up the California coast and we had one of the best prepared meals of the trip. The Carp avocado tartine was simply scrumptious – avocado so creamy and flavorful, radishes so crisp, flavors working together so nicely. We also had very tasty roasted cauliflower steak with kale salad. The staff were delightful. I wish we lived closer!

The food Liaison is the real deal. The Organic Quinoa Bowl is so delicious. Nice, clean atmosphere. Also, desserts are tasty too. Highly recommended.

Nice little place in Carp with vegan and vegetarian options. Self serve salad bar with fresh local organic produce. The soup is usually vegan. The butternut squash is my favorite so far.
They also have vegan options for their salads on the menu, as well as a quinoa bowl. Everything I’ve tried so far has been fresh and tasty.
You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. They have lots of desserts but not too sure if any of them are vegan.

The fig prosciutto tartine was delish and very filling. Apple pie with rosemary was very tasty too. Cant want to try other food will definitely be vack

The Food Liaison is a welcomed new addition to our small Carpinteria community. They offer fresh, creative, healthy lunch options for locals.
The staff is always pleasant and patient with helping determine the best option for you. I love they have a special of the day and fun paper straws for your drinks.
This visit I tried the Organic Quinoa Bowl and Chicken Shawarma Lettuce Cups. The Quinoa Bowl is definitely my favorite out of the two. It’s served on a large bed of quinoa (too much in my opinion, they should ease up on the quinoa and add more of their awesome toppings instead). The mix of sautéed kale, dressing, grilled onions and all the toppings really made this dish delicious for a fancy but simple lunch.
The Chicken Shawarma was okay, nothing to rave about. It was crisp, a bit tangy but nothing stood out for me.
My biggest criticism is their hours which are weekdays only 11 – 3! It’s worth checking out as you quickly rotate through the food options here.

I looked on the corner where this location is supposed to be and I could not find it anywhere I’m just amazed that none of the reviewer’s said that this is a very very difficult location to find.

I took the Vegan cooking class this weekend and was beyond impressed. The chef was knowledgable and the food was amazing. I learned new recipes and techniques for my kitchen. I highly recommend this cooking class.

I’m not a health nut but this place is excellent! I work in Carpinteria and I eat out for lunch fairly often. Found this place on a coworkers recommendation. Don’t take a late lunch they close early! I love the chicken quinoa!

I’m so happy this place exists! Really amazing, fresh menu items and the crew is very helpful and friendly, especially because it took me so long to decide. Everything sounded good!
I had the prosciutto, fig Jam & whipped goat cheese tartine. I could seriously eat that every day. Super, crazy delicious!

Food Liaison is a neighborhood treasure. I like the quinoa bowl and avocado tartines.

We found this spot on our way up to Santa Barbara from Ojai and couldn’t agree more with the 5 star rating! Local organic food that is skillfully prepared and generous portions for the price! Two foodie thumbs way up! One note: use google maps, NOT apple maps to get here… apple will take you to the wrong place.

Great lunch spot! Love the salad bar! It’s loaded with fresh veggies, an assortment of proteins, roasted tomatoes and roasted cauliflower! Friendly staff and he food never disappoints.

Really good, fresh, and healthy food, and they make good use of social media to promote daily specials. They do quick check out and you have your food literally faster than you could at fast food. When I’m craving a really healthy lunch, I go there. Their little bite desserts have never disappointed either.

Excellent healthy fare.
Enjoyed the fig tartine here a few weeks back and was thoroughly impressed!
Next time, I will try the salad bar, because it too, looked delectable!

I’ve been working in Carp for 7 years and have been waiting for a place like this to open for a lunch option. So happy to see a place like this open, and so far I’ve tried the salad bar, quinoa bowl and the lettuce cups and all have been amazing! Their salad bar is great and full of fun options. Their menu is different and flavorful and best of all it’s healthy… and the service is outstanding!

Support awesome, local businesses!
Fresh, fun, flavorful and friendly… the food is as good as the service!
The orzo salad is ridiculously good!

The food Liaison is the perfect addition to an already great town! I love to grab a few items for lunch or even plan ahead and grab some soup and a few salads for dinner. It’s open from 11 – 3 only but call ahead and they’ll hook you up with what you want! The Orzo salad is so delicious and the Prosciutto/​Fig Tartine is outstanding. The soups are incredible as well. All the selections I’ve had are very flavorful and have been thoughtfully created to compliment one another. Get yourself there and check it!

Okay people — get yourselves over to this joint! It’s a lunch place — 11 am to 3 pm, and then they have some ‘to-​go’ pre-​packaged dinner meals you can take home with you. We tried the ‘Tartines’ — goat cheese, fig jam, carmelized onion-​y goodness on a crostini. Yummers! Also the ‘Organic Quinoa Bowl’ with chicken, Roasted Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions, Kale & Chipotle Aioli. That also, was crazy good. And oddly enough, good together. Can’t wait to try more items! So neat to have another healthy and delish option in our little town. :)
